We have a popup #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Starlink launch tonight from #CCSFS LC-40. The window opens at 8:10 PM EST. I'll post a webcast link when it's available.
EDIT ... SpaceX has moved up the opening of the window to 7:52 PM EST.
EDIT 2 ... Various media are reporting the launch time has slipped to 8:42 PM EST, although the SpaceX web site still says 7:52 PM EST.
EDIT 3 ... SpaceX scrubbed tonight's launch. They'll try again tomorrow night.
From #News13: #SpaceX to launch Commercial Lunar Payload Services mission for #NASA from #SpaceCoast no earlier than mid-February.

#ULA will attempt to make history tonight with its first test flight of the new #Vulcan rocket. The booster was named in honor of Leonard Nimoy, who passed away in 2015.
ULA will retire the Atlas V and Delta IV in favor of this partially reusable rocket, which they hope will be competitive with the #SpaceX line of rockets. (1/x)
